The correct statement about operant conditioning is:
• c. Partial reinforcement leads to behaviors that will persist longer than behavior learned through continuous reinforcement.
This phenomenon is known as the "partial reinforcement effect," which suggests that behaviors learned through partial reinforcement are more resistant to extinction than those learned through continuous reinforcement.
